9530 Help!

[Steve1934]

I recently enjoyed watching my 2 year old throw my BlackBerry down a flight of wooden stairs at our house. The screen is cracked and the touch sensing isn't responding well. The overall integrity of the device is still in tact and the phone is suprisingly durable. But, the real reason for the post is that I am getting a replacement 9530. My question, or questions, are: How do I get my new replacement to "look" exactly like the one I have now? All the same apps, all the same font/scroll/text/email settings, etc. Is it any different than when I loaded a new OS onto my current phone, where BBDM backed up and restored everything? Should I back up everything with BBDM or BBSAK and then when I get the new phone, load it up? Is it that simple. Sorry for the long post, and thanks in advance to any and all help.

Yes do a back up of your current phone (include everything). When you get your replacement, do a restore from backup file and you should be good to go.

As Jedi said. It really is that easy! Back up device, back up apps, then restore.
